MATTHEW S. GOLDMAN, OF PITTSBURG, PENNSYLVANIA.

CUFF-HOLDER.

SPEGIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 694,739, dated March 4, 1902. Application manager 7, 1901 serial No. 71,225. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MATTHEW S. GOLDMAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Pittsburg, in the county cranegheny and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in (End-Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements incufi-holders, and has for its object the provision of. novel means whereby a cufi may be securely retained in any desired position.

The present invention aims to construct a cuff-holder that may be conveniently attached to the inner face of the sleeve; furthermore, to provide novel means that will allow a free and easy adjustment of the cuff to any deafter more fully describdyand specifically pointed out in the claims.

In describing the invention in detail reference is had to the accompanying drawings, formingapart of this specification, and wherein like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views,

in which Figure l is a vertical sectional view of a portion of a sleevehaving my improved cuffholder and cuff attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the cuff-holder. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view thereof. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modified form of my cud-holder.

In these drawings the reference-numeral 1 indicates the coat-sleeve.

2 indicates the cuff.

3 indicates the guide, having openings 4 formed therein at each end thereof, forming suitable fastening means to attach the same to the inner face of the coat-sleeve.

The reference-numeral 5 indicates a sleeve which may be composed of metal, hard rubber, fiber, or the like and is slidingly arranged on the guide 3, this sleeve carrying a clamp t.v The said clamp is bent over upon itself and carries a forwardly-extending tongue 7, the latter being slightly downwardly inclined.

In this form of construction the sleeve 5 is frictionally held on the guide 3, being fitted sufficiently tight thereon to be retained against ordinary strain in any position to which it may be placed.

In the modification shown in Fig. 4 the numeral 8 indicates a loop formed of a corru gated .wire, which may be employed in lieu of the guide 3. 'The clamp 6, when this corrugated-wire loop is employed, is provided with grips 6 to engage the corrugated wire and hold the clamp thereon, the said clamp being held in the position to which it has been moved by the corrugations in the wire.

The operationof my improved cud-holder is as follows: The guide being attached to the interior face of the sleeve, as shown in Fig. 1, the 'en'd 'of the cuff is insertedin the clamp 6 and will be securely retained-therein, the sleeve 5 sliding upon the guide 3, which will permit the cud to be adjusted to any desired position. In the modified form the corrugations will form a suitable stop, which will likewise serve to rigidly retain the cuff in a manner that an accidentaldisplacement of the same will be impossible. 7

The many'advantages obtained by the use of my improved cuff-holder willbe: readily apparent from the foregoing description,

taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.

It will be noted that various changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of my invention. 7 7

Having fully described-my invent-ion, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isl 1. In a cuff-holder adaptedfor attachment to the inner face of the coat-sleeve, and comprising a flat guide having its ends secured to the inner face of the coat-sleeve, a sleeve slidably mounted on said guide and frictionally held in the position to which it has been moved, and a clamp carried by said sleeve for engagement with the cuif, said clamp having a portion thereof held within the sleeve Ice and the remaining portion bent over upon doubled over upon itself and extended for-. itself with the free end bent downwardly, subwardly with its free end bent downwardly, stantially as described. substantially as described.

2. -In a cuff-holder adapted for attachment In testimony whereof I affix my signature 5 to the inner face of a coat-sleeve, a guide havin the presence of two witnesses.
